Hmm. As far as I know IQ is not actual measurement of Intelligence but rather clostest construct we have that tries to measure "Intelligence". Though we are not able to define it anyway... How funny
.
When I try to communicate and the other person says I am playing word games it makes me irritated. I put effort attempting a meaningful discourse but then what I've said is rejected. IQ tests being called palm reading irritates me significantly because the paragraphs and paragraphs I wrote were trying to explain why that is not the case is dismissed as word games. I am a smart guy he says but then he says I believe in palm reading. (pounds head against keyboard)
Yes, the tests are just the closest construct, they do not measure intelligence directly but that is not same as palm reading. The brain has connections that work together and indirectly we can know mostly the results externally when the brain interacts with the environment. We can indirectly measure the number of different types of information a brain can manipulate and the amount manipulated.
My mental manipulation abilities are severely limited in key areas. And very high in other areas. The brain has 180 areas that the wires connect to. The communication between those 180 areas determines mental manipulation. The brain is a network, it handles information and sometimes communication inside the network is uneven in its efficiency. Indirectly we can measure the efficiency of the nodes in the network.
I do have a learning disability because my network probably has damage in some areas that are compensated by other areas. Sometimes I get visceral feelings of contortion in my mental state. I can feel my brain cramp or just become stuck. Just acting normal around people is a challenge.
If intelligence is something real then it must be from the brain processing information as a network. A network configuration will allow more or less mental control and mental manipulation. Some people will function more or less intelligently by their configuration. Overall functioning may be measured by IQ tests. I am not playing word games here. I know that if my mind was not so fucked up as me being able to painfully feel my own mental blocks. That I would not notice that my configuration was not working coherently. It is only because I can feel that areas of my brain get stuck that I am certain it must be this way that my overall functioning in life and on the tests I have taken that I am not balanced.
As the closest construct for intelligence, my doctor has told me I do have a nonverbal learning disability from the 15 subtests he saw. And I am not about to say that he is full of baloney. I am diagnosed for the past 8 years with schizoaffective disorder. Since many people criticize the mental health field such as the DSM-5 then it may be fun for some people here to discuss its baloney if they wish. Doctors are idiots, right?
